Official betting data deals are contracts between a sportsbook and a professional team. Typically, these are signed with the NFL, and other sportsbooks that sign these deals must adhere to certain guidelines. Genius Sports, which tracks these deals, has strict guidelines, which prevent other sportsbooks from marketing their NFL relationship. Other official betting data deals are between a local team and a professional league, and these can be signed with other sportsbooks, provided the team and league are in the same market radius.
Baseball
If you love baseball, official baseball betting is a great way to get in on the action. You can place bets on total runs scored, total points scored, and more. There are also many different prop bets available. Some of the most popular prop bets are player props, which let you wager on things like the number of home runs a certain player will hit, the number of strikeouts a starting pitcher will have, and more. There are also prop bets for MLB playoffs as well.
PGA Tour
Official betting on the PGA Tour has seen a tremendous rise in popularity in recent years. Since the Supreme Court decision to legalize sports betting in many states, wagering on the PGA Tour has increased 50 percent and total bets increased 40 percent. And it is expected to continue growing. However, questions remain. Some people wonder what kind of betting will be available in the future, and what role golf betting will play in the Tour’s business.
NFL
The NFL has renewed its partnership with sports betting company 888sport and announced that they will be the official sports betting partner in the UK and Ireland until 2025. The partnership will see 888sport’s logo placed on the exterior of stadiums during NFL games in London, including Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium. Additionally, 888sport will have a strong brand presence on TV.
NBA
The NBA has partnered with several companies to offer official NBA betting data. The league is distributing this data to authorised gaming operators and fans engaged in betting. The league is relying on the data to help players and sports fans make the right decision when betting. The data is provided by various companies, including Sportradar and Genius Sports, who have worked closely with the NBA for years.
NHL
The NHL has signed a multi-year contract with Sportsradar to become its official betting data and media partner. The partnership is a key step toward enhancing the NHL’s brand and increasing fan engagement. The partnership will provide official data and statistics to betting companies around the world.
NCAA
The NCAA, which for years has fought against sports betting, is now open to selling official data to sports betting operators. This information is especially useful for live betting, as the faster sportsbooks have access to it, the more accurate their in-game spreads can be. According to Marc Edelman, professor of law at Baruch College’s Zicklin School of Business, the NCAA’s move to sell data to sports betting operators raises important issues, including athletes’ compensation.

DraftKings
DraftKings’ official betting app is a great way to get in on the action. The interface is simple and intuitive, and you can choose from a variety of player props and leagues. The app also features a social component that allows you to follow other users. By friending someone, you can view their bets and contests. However, you must be approved by them first. If you’d rather not bother them, you can follow them to see their posts only.
